Support for the Zaragoza Entrepreneurial Ecosystem through Branding Design Activity: Technology Transfer Office, Semillero de Ideas, and Degree in Engineering in Product Design and Development Collaboration

Abstract

This project is based on a collaboration between two public entrepreneurship incubators, Ceminem and Zaragoza Activa, with the subject of Graphic Design Applied to Product. In this project, students develop various design proposals for the graphic image of newly created companies that participate in the business incubation program. In this way, students actively learn not only the contents of the subject but also the treatment with the client, being their first experience, and in parallel they acquire knowledge about entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs from different centers participate in a networking work focused on branding. The service-learning methodology facilitates the development of contact networks for students and their first clients, as well as reinforcing a user-centered work attitude. Participants meet in the different centers to carry out activities together and get to know their offer first hand. Innovation is based on: introducing students to the entrepreneurship ecosystem, turning a university exercise into a real job that includes the requirements of working with a client-user, and evaluating the satisfaction of all parties involved.
